Cleanses & Retreats

We offer several different types of Shamanic Cleanses whose appeal will depend on where you are in your studies of Plant Medicine...

Elemental Harmony- This retreat is a three days of camping, hiking, and cleansing with plant medicine. We're very excited to be sharing this offering as our first retreat on our own land! This offering is donation based and all proceeds from this retreat will support a community project for our Mayan host village of Tzunun'a. Learn More...

Sacred Valley Pilgrimage - This offering is for those who would like to dive a bit deeper into the world of Shamanism, yet also experience the magnificence of Peru's Sacred Valley. We work daily with plant medicine as we hike to ancient Incan power places and other sacred locations to leave offerings. Learn More...

Jungle Dieta- Our most advanced offering... the ancient healing traditions of the Amazon jungle come alive with an intense study of shamanic plant medicine. We will stay in almost complete isolation as we explore our inner selves. This dieta is generally suggested for those who have previous experience with Plant Medicine. Learn More...
